Dust jacket notes read: "D.V. brings us into her dazzling life, here and abroad, today and yesterday-Diana Vreeland (Mrs. Reed Vreeland), the brilliant, funny, charming, imperial woman whose passion and genius for style have energized and inspired the world of high fashion for half a century.who has reigned as fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar and editor in chief of Vogue and as the creator of magnificent fashion-as-art shows at the Metroplitan Museum.whose cirlce of friends has included artists and princes and has ranged over the years from Chanel, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and Isak Dinesen to Clark Gable and Swifty Lazar. Her book is herself-the unsurpassed (and unihibited) raconteur-taking us among the century's chic, rich, and gifted in London, Paris, New York.evoking the luxury and brio of era that encompassed Josephine Baker (and her cheetah) and England's Queen Mary (whose masseur D.V. shared).taking us from Paris, where she was born (and raised in high style: the Louvre was her playground, Diaghilev a habitue of the house), to Wyoming, where Buffalo Bill taught her to ride, to her New York wedding (someone forgot to mail the invitations-almost nobody came).to her charmed life abroad.to America again and her fantastic career. Peppering her glittering stories with knowings (and often outrageous) pronouncements, she ranges wide-from geishas to the incomparable art of Balenciago, the genius of great servants, and her own reason for being absolutely certain that Chanel and the Duke of Windsor had once had the "romance of the world.". Her book has all the dash of a woman sho has never allowed herself moods or melancholy; who has looked for (and found) what is attractive, elegant, and bright; who is in love with life (not with herself); who adored her husband all the years of their marriage; who from age 18 to 30 was a lady of leisure in a society that tangoed through the nights ("I had it all!") and in the decades since then has, with no regrets, flung herself nonstop into storms of brilliant work. To read her book is to hear that vivid, irresistible voice that brings such life and fun to a tete-a-tete or a dinner party-Diana Vreeland, talking about her world.about her search for the perfect red.about nostalgia ("I loate nostalgia").about the great and the near-great.about herslef as a young girl ("I was calcimined.whiter than white").about the nature of elegance. Whatever her subject you want her never to stop. Hers is a memoir like no other, and reading it is pure pleasure. Bookseller Inventory # 18090

JMVintage specializes in books, magazines, and treasures related to the Duke & Duchess of Windsor.and other curious subjects. "Diana Vreeland was the fashion editor of the twentieth century. She had an incredible aura of glamour and a genius for enlivening life with enticing fantasy. Diana Vreeland goes behind the scenes to tell her story-how, with innate talent and hard work, the imaginative and ambitious daughter of an old New York society family became a legendary arbiter of fashion and style. It reveals the growth of her professional prowess and details her personal history, as it captures Vreeland's pizzazz, humor, flair and flamboyant personality. This beautiful book is lavishly illustrated with more than three hundred illustrations, photographs and drawings, many by the best fashion photographers of the time-Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Irving Penn, Cecil Beaton and Brassai. Here, too, are the trendsetters, artists, models and celebrities with whom Vreeland worked and played, including Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Oscar de la Renta, Elsie de Wolfe, Cecil Beaton, Andy Warhol, Truman Capote and Jackie Kennedy. The fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar from 1937 to 1962, Diana Vreeland first shook things up with her 'Why Don't You' column. Working with legendary editor Carmel Snow, she drastically changed the look of the magazine by using provocative, exciting photography6. Later, as editor in chief of Vogue from 1962 to 1971, she became famous for her startling style-tapping into the currents of rebellion and creativity of the sixties, dressing her models in miniskirts and Dynel hairpieces, championing the inconoclasitc 'youthquake.' She operated out of her red-lacquered office, smoked continually and lunched on peanut butter and jelly and a shot of scotch. Vreeland brought vitality and beauty to the magazine, letting her photographers and editors follow their own creative bents, sending them off to photoshoots in foreign lands and encouraging them to use their talents in fresh and provocative ways. At the height of her power, she was fired from Vogue. In 1972, Vreeland returned to center stage for the closing act of her life at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute as its 'special consultant,' a job she invented. Drawing on all her knowledge and enthusiasm, and using her fabulous eye, she masterminded costume extravaganzas. She contributed to the new age of blockbuster museum exhibitions, and her shows, produced with a combination of expertise and drama, brought hundreds of thousands to see costume history. When Vreeland became blind in the mid-1980s she said it was because she had seen so many beautiful things. When she died in 1989 she became a legend. Her story, as told by Eleanor Dwight, captures her vibrant and extraordinary life. Bookseller Inventory # 13912
